It's snappy, witty, and often unexpected. Ryan North of Unbeatable Squirrel Girl fame was in charge of the dialogue, and it shows. It can be poignant when it needs to be, but more importantly, it's just funny.

I would be remiss not to mention the dialogue, which handles the highs and lows of the story equally well. However, the theme of randomness and the constant transitions between the magical and more grounded tones make the down moments feel more effective. Sure, there are moments when things just magically happen to Even to move her from place to place, but that seems in line with its influences. It's interesting to watch all these sobering lessons about life, determination in the face of adversity, musings about the complexities of war, the stresses of labor, socio-economic class differences, the power of intrusive thoughts, and more come to light in the middle of what is a fairy tale, but it works. Beyond a roll of a die making a random decision, it also strikes Even and teaches her how the world works. The developers stated in our preview that nothing goes according to plan in the real world, and that's reflected in the world of Random. Many obstacles are thrown her way that keep her from reaching her goals, so much so that she breaks down multiple times throughout the game wanting to give up. Even has to go on a quest to rescue her sister from the evil queen, but it's not as easy as waltzing into the castle and demanding her back. It's a huge theme in both the combat and the narrative. Lost in Random hits a lot of the most important notes many of us would recognize from our favorite fairy tales.Īs you can probably guess, the 'random' in the game's title isn't just for show. The dice rolls also might not give you the number of points you need, so you have to constantly keep breaking off crystals and rolling to keep going.

As you buy and earn more cards, there are more options, making it tougher to get the cards you want. You start with a few basic cards, like the Bow of One that gives you a bow and arrow or the Sword of Three, which gives you a sword, and some health elixirs. The dice and card system also adds that randomness the developers are aiming for. It's an easy system to get into, and the more you do it, the more it becomes like second nature. It sounds like a lot written out, but it makes more sense when playing. Source: EA Originals (Image credit: Source: EA Originals)
